Default New Computer

Hey, im ordering a new computer today. I only have $533 in my paypal account so i was wondering if you guys could configure a computer for me off newegg. I don't need a hard drive, soundcard, or CD drive. Other then that i need it all; Mobo, CPU,Ram,PSU, case, and video card. If the processor comes with stock cooling then i dont want a cooler for it. I was hoping to get a dual core if possible. Thanks in advance.
EDIT:
Heres My current build
Case:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811164040
Mobo:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813135009
Video Card:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814131007
PSU:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817104952
CPU:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103562
Ram:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231023

I didn't add that up, but it looks like a killer system for $533.

EDIT: $521!!!!

Actually, he can only get around $450 worth of parts, he will have to pay tax since he lives in CA.

The Core 2 Duo is better at games, even if you only use one core. And there are a ton of games out there that use two cores.

What CPU would you recommend then?
